I am EESDA

Hi! I am a fish lover from the Philippines. In the Philippines, we call fish as "isda". Then, I notice my initials are E, E, S, and D. Also, my family and I call my fish place the "Aviary." We do so because it was initially built for the family's African love birds and finches. So, I combined my initials and the initial of "Aviary." There is the pattern: E-E-S-D-A. This approximates "isda."

A side note: In our native language, "mangingisda" means fisherman. This is the person who catches fish for a living and the fish is for food. However, that does not describe what fish keepers do: take care of fish for ornamental purposes and leisure. So, a different term was coined: "nag-iisda." Literally translating (badly), it is "someone who does/works fish."
